WILLIAM HENRY JAY, OF LE BEAU, SOUTH DAKOTA.

COMBINATION COAT, HAT, PACKAGE, AND SATCHEL CABINET.

To all whom a may concern:

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM HENRY J AY,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Le Beau, in the countyof WValworth and State of South Dakota, have invented a new and ImprovedCombination Coat, Hat, Package, and Satchel Cabinet, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention is an improvement in cabinets, particularly for retainingclothing, satchels, packages, etc, and is designed for hotels and otherpublic places.

The object of the invention is to provide a cabinet having a locker, andalso having a garment hanger and a satchel fastener arranged at theoutside of the locker, and in which access to the locker, removal of thegarment from the support, and the detachment of the fastener arecontrolled by a single lock on the door of the cabinet.

A further object of the invention is to provide a clamp for securing thegarment to the hanger, operated from the door of the locker.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of my improvedcabinet as when in use; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical section of thesame substantially on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a cross-sectionof the cabinet taken through the locker, with the bottom of the lockerbroken away to show the connection between the garment clamp and thelocker door; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the upper portion of thecabinet, showing the connections of the satchel fastener; and Fig. 5 isa fragmentary sectional view through the upper portion of the cabinet,taken at right-angles to the section shown in Fig. 2.

A locker 6, which is designed to be secured against the wall of a roomin an elevated position, is provided with a door 7, ordinarily hinged toswing to one side, and having a lock 8 for securing it in closedposition, the locker also having suitable shelves, if such are desired.Suitably supported underneath the locker is a garment hanger 9, shown tohave the oppositely-extending supporting arms and provided with adepending clamping jaw 10, the clamping jaw ordi- Specification ofLetters Patent.

narily curving about the front of the hanger, and at a point therebelowprovided with a substantial flat clamping face. An opposed jaw 10 ishinged to the jaw 10 and is adapted to swing toward and away from saidjaw 10. Pivotally attached to the jaw 10 is a link 11, the opposite endof which is attached to one arm of a lever 13 fulcrumed intermediate itslength to the under side of the locker, to the other arm of which leveris connected one end of a link 12, the other end of said link beingpivoted to the end of a door at a point removed from the hinged edge. Byconnecting the clamp with the door, as described, when the door isopened, the jaw 1O will be retracted from the jaw 10, leaving asuflicient opening therebetween for the passage of the garment inplacing it on or removing it from the hanger. When the door is closed,the jaws will be brought to bear against the garment or garments on thehanger and prevent their removal.

A satchel fastener, ordinarily in the nature of a chain 1%, has one endpermanently secured within the locker, and the other end removablyengaged on a hook 15, as best shown in Fig. 1, that portion of the chainwhich is engaged by the hook, passing out of the locker through a notch16 formed in the front adjacent to the free edge of the door, the notchinclining downwardly and outwardly so that the chain when passedthereinto will tend to slide away from the door and thus not interferewith the closing and opening of the latter. The permanently-attached endof the chain I have shown to pass through a suitable opening formed inthe bottom of the locker. The satchel or similar baggage is seated onthe floor of the room in which the cabinet is placed and is secured bypassing the chain through the handle, after which the detachable end ofthe chain is rengaged on the hook 15.

The garments are applied to the hanger in the customary manner, and thehat, packages and such other clothing which it is desired to lock up,are placed within the locker 6. On closing the door of the locker thegarments on the hanger are clamped, and after the door is locked, notonly these and the articles within the locker secured against removal,but also the satchel. Thus, with one look the satchel, garments andthearticles within the locker are separately secured.

if desired the combination to the lock can be posted on the inside ofthe locker to inform the user or if desired a check having thecombination can be furnished to the guest or other party by the clerk.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A locker having a door honged thereto to swing from one side thereof, agarment hanger supported on said locker beneath the same, said hangercomprising oppositelyextending supporting arms, a pair of clamping jawspivoted together and curved about said hanger, said jaws having opposedflat clamping faces, a lever pivoted to the under side of said locker, alink connecting said isver with one of said jaws, a second linkconnecting said lever with said door at the point removed from thehinged edge, and a single lock fastening said door and jaws in closedposition, thereby preventing access to said locker and clamping thearticles on said supporting arms in position.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM HENRY JAY.
